Radiant Silvergun

[Hagane Hiryu]

I've only ever bought from eBay, never from an online store. What should I expect about the condition of that game? It's a good deal but I don't want to end up with a crappy condition game. Would you guys suggest I grab this deal if I want the game? Thanks.

Do the obvious thing; email them and ask them for details.

Just cause you lived in Japan and couldn't find it for less than $100 doesn't mean others can't easily. I find that people in the large cities say things in Japan aren't cheaper and people in the country rave on all the great deals there are. Which is weird because must things you can buy seem cheaper in the large cities in America and cost more in small towns. Not counting flea markets though, they are always cheaper in rural areas.

That is true, but I have been in some rural cities/towns and this has still been fairly expensive (ie. generally $120 and up). This also applies to mom & pop shops, even in large cities. I've seen games at those places going for $5 that should be over $100. PM Hashiriya (a member here) and ask him what he usually sees it for.

The point is that this game is not substantially cheaper in Japan than what you find it for online, but, like anything, someone will eventually come across a deal.

Hashiriya1 has already stated several time he can find it cheap here's quote from him about it in another thread

Congrats on Radiant Silvergun. In the countryside it goes for about 5500-7500 yen for a pretty good one

This was in reference to someone who bought one with a spine card. here's some more

Radiant Silvergun isn't really that much. So I think if you have patience, you can
get a good deal on a copy.

Nope. Both those games are a dime-a-dozen. The soundtrack is rare as hell, though.

In reference to a complete set of Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga.

Like I said you a lot of times say things are more expensive than people precieve and he a lot of times says the opposite.

Yeah, Game Over here in town sold one for $200. Some guy traded in a shit ton of import Saturn stuff over a year ago. A lot of it is still there. Radiant Silver gun, even at $200, didn't last longer than a couple of weeks.

Well, Hashiriya knows where to go! Neat to know what he was finding it for. Helps to have a car and place to be in more rural northern Honshu. The lowest I've seen it for was 9,000 once. Average about 14,000 or up.
